What is this really? I was going to check my friends armory and bang! Error 503 what is this? Also is battle-net lagging or something?

The Web server (running the Web site) is currently unable to handle the HTTP request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. Some servers in this state may also simply refuse the socket connection, in which case a different error may be generated because the socket creation timed out.

The EU World of Warcraft forum (not sure about the US) is currently having a bit of technical difficulties, but it is being looked into. :)

Well if you give us more info, such as which region, and character name, someone else could see if the search works for them. But most likely it's an issue on the server, and not something to do with you.

Well when I go to Wow-europe.com (it was the name before battle net) and when I serch character it says Error 503. After reloading page 5 -10 times it allows me to see character. And it's only with characters.

Hi all, 503s will usually happen around the time of when we bring the servers down for maintenance. Although I am unaware of any emergency maintenance that may have happened over the weekend, it is entirely possible that this was the case. If you continue to experience the issue, please post here or let us know by sending us a ticket so that we can further assist. Thank you :)

Hi again

Just went to battle.net and checked some characters and this time with no Error 503. So the problem is gone now :)Now I can happily look characters.
